Encode latest tranche request

by Encode Club

Summary:

Our Encode Club x Polkadot initiative employs a three-part strategy: an educational series, dedicated hackathons (both virtual and in-person), and a specialized accelerator. The proposal was split across five funding tranches, each focused on different aspects of the programme as agreed by Treasury in our initial proposal here. This report provides an overview of our progress on the Encode x Polkadot Spring Hackathon and Polkadot Decoded Hackathon and request funding for the following: Funding for the second online hackathon prizes (£10k in DOT) Funding for running the third online hackathon (£15k in DOT). Funding for running the accelerator (£15k in DOT). This funding request amounts to a total of £40k in DOT. We propose utilising the funding allocated for the 4th tranche scheduled for Q4 of 2023 from the initial agreement outlined.

Current Progress and Comments:

The follow up of referendum 14 and previously an openGov referendum. The latest tranche request/s main concern was the same many other outreach proposals had. Is it really worth it to fund such endeavor. And a solid proof of results and continuation of such hackathons would be a good thing to have. Regardless of that, the account 16DG aka Giotto voted AYE thus making it clear that not only media proposals but also outreach proposals such as hackathons would be favored by this account.
